Hi we are a small business with a 1 new and 1 old server we sent this question to the vmware sales dept but have had no answer.
We have two questions that we hope someone has had some experience with.
At present we are using esxi5 free on our new server if we buy the VMware vSphere Essentials Kit
1. Is it just a question of entering the license in to the esxi free version to give it the increase functionality so there would be no need to reinstall things?
2 If we have VMware vSphere Essentials Kit would it allow us to use tools such as quest vranger pro or Acronis vmProtect for backing up and replication.
This would be a lot cheaper than using the VMware vSphere Essentials Kit pro and would seem to do that same job.
Thanks
